December 2012 Glass Install, Walks, LP Tank and Parking Lot

More progress on the outside and inside...

The glass guys came back to install the window over the tub after the broken tile was fixed.

Notice, also the wall under the mini-split is now fixed and repainted.

LP gas tank installation...much easier than I expected it to be.  Not a large tank since it will only have to support the gas dryer and the gas wall oven.  This amount of gas should last me a year or longer if I can get my clothesline installed to hang the sheets outside.

Picture a little out of sequence since the apron for the garage and walks are already built in this picture.

Checking for leaks

The walks and apron for the garage ....

Didn't want straight lines so I used the garden hose to set the edges.

Two different paths come together at the front door.  One comes from the garage apron and one comes from the yet to be built parking area.

The rainwater collection pipes run under the apron.  The small pipe is the supply water going into the garage to the filters and pump.

Front entrance.  Notice...no step...just smooth transition onto front porch.

Had to wait a day for the cement to set up then they came back and sprayed off the top of the cement to expose the aggregate.

I just love it and it blends beautifully with the rest of the drive which is crushed stone.

After the walks were in we started on the parking lot.

This was the area where the parking lot was to be built with the pink marked trees to be taken out.

The guys just pulled then up and piled them up for me to cut for firewood.

Ingenious way of working --standing on the lifted bucket while cutting a limb.

Good job with the end of the new sidewalk ending at the edge of the new parking lot.
